    06. When God Gets Your Attention: An Unexpected Invitation to Slow Down
    Jun 29 2026
    What if the very interruption you've been frustrated by is actually God inviting you to slow down? In this episode of Called & Rooted, I'm sharing the unexpected lesson God taught me through something as ordinary as a broken dishwasher. As a wife, mom of three, and someone who often finds herself in "go mode," I realized how easy it is to become so focused on checking off the next task that we miss the quiet moments where God wants to speak. Through the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38–42, we'll explore the difference between being busy for God and simply being with God. We'll talk about how convenience isn't always creating more margin, how interruptions can become invitations, and how God often gets our attention in the middle of everyday life. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, constantly rushing, or struggling to hear God's voice through the noise, this episode is a gentle reminder that sometimes the most productive thing we can do is pause, listen, and sit at the feet of Jesus. In this episode, we'll discuss: - Why busyness can keep us from hearing God's voice. - What a broken dishwasher taught me about slowing down. - The lesson of Mary and Martha in our everyday lives. - How God often speaks through interruptions and inconveniences. - Simple ways to create space to listen for God's leading. Scripture: Luke 10:38–42 If this episode encouraged you, I'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who could use the reminder to slow down and listen. Let's stay rooted together.

    05. When God Expands the Assignment: Motherhood and Calling
    Jun 22 2026

    Have you ever wondered if becoming a wife or mother put your calling on hold?

    In this episode of Called & Rooted Christian Moms, we're exploring why motherhood isn't the end of your purpose—it's often the beginning of a bigger assignment. Join me as we talk about God's calling, motherhood, purpose, and how our children often inspire new opportunities, ministries, and dreams we never could have imagined on our own. Together we'll look at Ephesians 2:10 and Jeremiah 29:11 and be reminded that God has prepared good works for us and continues to guide our steps through every season of life. If you've ever felt stuck, overlooked, or uncertain about your next step, this episode will encourage you to trust that God is still working and still writing your story. Your calling didn't end with motherhood. It expanded. Key Scriptures: Ephesians 2:10 Jeremiah 29:11 Connect with us in the Rooted Moms community for encouragement, conversation, and simple ways to grow in faith at home.

In This Episode: • What it means to build your family on a strong foundation • Why faith is formed in the ordinary moments of motherhood • Practical ways to point your children to Jesus each day • Encouragement for moms who feel like they're not doing enough • How small seeds of faith can have an eternal impact Scripture Mentioned: Matthew 7:24-27 Whether your children are toddlers, school-aged, or somewhere in between, this episode will remind you that God doesn't call us to be perfect parents—He calls us to faithfully build on the Rock.
